No, it is just different.

Yes, the root filesystem of the install cds is cd0a, and as long as that is
mounted, you can not eject it.

I don't see any wd drives appearing here, assuming you have a harddisk,
this is probably part of the problem (and may also explain the drive 1
for cd0).

I guess something is not properly detected about your IDE or SATA parts of
the system. Can you provide the 5.1.x dmesg?

Thanks,
